     49With the introduction of python-3.11, the build has changes its use of an environment variable, and now uses
     50{{{
     51export MACH_BUILD_PYTHON_NATIVE_PACKAGE_SOURCE=none
     52}}}
     53to work around situations where the versions of modules pulled in for firefox are regarded by one of its scripts as being incompatible with other modules such as sphinx.
     54
     55Additionally, at the moment two seds are being used to fix code incompatible with python-3.11.
     56The first of these,
     57{{{
     58 grep -rl \"rU\" | xargs sed -i 's/"rU"/"r"/'
     59}}}
     60fixes testing/web-platform/tests/tools/third_party/py/py/_path/svnurl.py
     61
     62and the second fixes xpcom/idl-parser/xpidl/xpidl.py

    60 NOTE: if you are on zen1 (NOT zen+ aka zen1+ or later, i.e.  ryzen 1nnn) you should update to 106.0.1 rather than 106.0, BMO#1796126 because of crashes on some sites (an uncorrected erratum in Zen1 causing read of stale data, apparently fixed by ensuring 64-bit alignment).

    6274cbindgen >= 0.24.3 and therefore the sed needed for 102 is not wanted.

    64 The shipped libpng is marked for automatic updates, but only when firefox is in alpha - in 106.0 the shipped version is 1.6.37 but it works fine with 1.6.38 (unsurprising, that was not intended as a breaking change)

    70 nss >= 3.83.0
     82nss >= 3.84.0
    7183
    72 nspr >= 4.35 (in practice, it ships 4.35 (nsprpub/pr/include/prinit.h) but only tests for >= 4.34.1 if using the system nspr)
     84nspr >= 4.35
    7385
    7486rustc >= 1.61.0

    76 The minimum version of node-js has now been updated to v12.22.1, unfortunately that fell out of support in April of this year, v14, v16 and (not yet LTS) v18 have had vulnerability fixes since then.

     90The changes mentioned above in the 102 series for python-3.11 (envvar, two seds) are needed when building 107.0 with python-3.11.

    8397For the moment, g++ can be used if you pass --without-wasm-sandboxed-libraries but the changes in gcc-12 mean that the book has moved to using clang++, still without wasm.

    87 To be advised
     101The sed to fix testing/web-platform/tests/tools/third_party/py/py/_path/svnurl.py is still required, but xpcom/idl-parser/xpidl/xpidl.py has been fixed upstream.
